Mrs. Brown on Fast FGun. e

What is my opinion of fast yonng
men It isn't as good as it might
be, and sill it is better than the sub
ject merits. | sat at my window the
other day, and | noticed four Or five
"blooda" standing in front OF a sa'
loon from which they had just
emerged wiping their lips. | knew
they were all society men, and pres.
entity saw a pretty young lady OF
theil. set" coming down the street
toward them. Now, thought |, if
that girl had the proper nerve she
would pass those fellows Ivy as she
would any other set Of loafers whose
chracter was as good as theirs, but
whose social position by accident of
birth was less elevated. ! wagered
with myself that she must not do it,
and. 1 won the wager. She spoke
to them as sweetly and IS womanly
as if every a in the lot was as
pure and as good a she was. II
they had been women, instead Of
men, and she had known them, how
quickly she would have cat them
from the list Of her acGuaintances,
and how haughtily she would have
snubbed them! These fast young
men spend an evening in a gambling
den, associate with disrcpntable men.
swear like a mad teamster, and SO
on down a long list Of eccentricities,
and yet they have the gall to apply
for places of trust in the confidence
and respect Of decent women and
men, and the startling part Of it is,
they are accepted as fit associates
for mothers, daughters, sons, hus-
bands, fathers. They may say they
are not bad at heart. but are merely
sowing their wild oats Conceded !:

An Admirer of Shakespeare.

Tearle has been over his old stamping
ground in the English provinces. At
Bury, in Lancashire, he gaye two per-
formances, one in the afternoon for the
convenience of the country folk, it being
a holiday, and the other in the evening.
The country people came in for miles
around and it began to rain very hard.
When the matinee was over, to his sur
prise, the great part of the audience did
not get up. 1t was SO stormy outside
that they simply sat in the theater till
the evening performance came on and
saw that too. But the leader of the
town, awell known agitator, was Tearle's
especial admirer, and at every perform
ance before the curtain rose this man took
the center of the stage and made speech
to the audience in the broadest dialect. 1t
was to this effect: I.rrr ,..frrt
Moo, don't want any CT your filthy,
dirty smoking this evening. This is not
circus, you'll understand. This is
Shakespeare, and ye must keep quiet and
watch Mr.. Tearle play Shakespeare ID
And If anybody made noise or dis
tor would scramble over and bang him on
the side of the head. When "Richelieu"
was played the well known line caught
the agitator's fancy, t..The pen is nigh
tier than the sword, and Tearle was sur
prised when on his last appearance the
stalwart figure came on the stage and
presented him with o pen, sword aud
with quaint religious feeling added what
he said was greater than both-a Bible.

The Clothes of Japanese Girls.

Japanese young men of fashion visit
the girls just as they do in this country,
take them out to restaurants and fill
them up with ice cream. They have
balls and parties where waltzing is in
dulged in ad llbitum. The waltz, how
ever, is a recent innovation, but is liked
by the Japanese exceedingly, The cos
tunes of the ladies in japan are more
in consonance with the dress reform
movement than those of American and
European girls. First of all no corset
is worn. The long silk sash supplies
the place of steel and whalebone. This
sash is wrapped round and round the
waist loosely, and the ends hang down
behind. There is no large, elaborate
how pinned against the back, like those
seen in the representation of the "Mi-
kado" on our stage. Some of the ultra
fashionable girls of Toxic, however,
have adopted a method of making their
waists look smaller, according 10 the
European modes. but no corset is used
simply belt buckled Around the
waist. The ladies are fond of picking
the strings of the banjo, and are up to
the times in fashion which has been
greatly in vogue among American girls.
Japanese girls attire themselves IN pret-
ty much the same underwear as Ameri-
can women, but their stockings are
built more on the order of mitten for
the hand, there being separate recepta.
Gle for the big toe. A very curious fact
the reporter CLEANED from the interpre-
ter was this: The Japanese think that

Cut out the bone. and trim off all the
fat and gristIe which are put aside for
the jelly. 4 The lean part of the veal
must then be chopped very fine, and
any small particles of fat which may
still remain in it removed. Add TO the
chopped veal six soda crackers rolled
very fino, half a teaspoonful of salt,
little pepper, one heaping tablespoonful
of batter, and two well beaten eggs.
Mix all we'll together, and press tightly
into a square, or round tin to form it,
then slip a knife round the edge to
loosen it, and turn it from the. form,
place it in shallow baking pan, glaze
it with egg, sprinkle over it one finely
rolled cracker, and q tablespoonful of
butter cut in small pieces. Pour in the
pan one pint and half Of water, which
serves as gravy to baste it with while
it is baking. and this should be done
about every twenty minutes. Two hours
will bake it in a moderate oven. 1t is
then carefully removed from the pan by
slipping a knife beneath it to loosen
every part that it may not be broken,
and placed on aplate to cool.
The jelly is made as follows: The
bones, fat, and trimmings of the veal
are put in saucepan with. one quart of
cold water. a little salt and the shells of
the eggs which have been used for the
pate. 4 Let all boil slowly together,
while the pate is cooking. two hours, or
until reduced to one pint. Strain it and
let it stand to cool, then skim off the fat
which rises. Pour it again in the sauce
pan, place it on the fire, and add half q
box of Cox'S gelatine, stirring until it
is thoroughly dissolved. Have ready a
little burnt sugar which is made by put
ting in q small tin, one teaspoonful Of
fine sugar, and one of water. Let it
boil very quickly until it becomes q dark
brown color, then strain, and let it
stand to cool. Place the pate in an
earthen dish, or mould, either round, or
square as the shape Of the pate may be,
and the mould should be half an inch
larger all round than the pate. Pour
the jelly in, place it on the ice, and
when stiffened,l it will have formed all
round the pate. When turning it from
the mould dipit as is done with form
OF Jelly, in hot water for n moment only,
and turn it out on the dish on which it
is to DO served. When crosses are in

rhs Proper Enrn.h Malk.

Something new Appeared in New
York II short time ago. bit thouyh il
English. and has apparently come tc
stay, it has not met with fervid re-
ceplion. 1t is the lurrhing English
walk. Perhaps the most proficient Of
its yotaries IS Londoner named Ben
son, who came here with lot of letters
recently, aHd-has- spont--all his time
since in dashing up and down the steps
of Fifth avenue residences. leaving vast
quantities of cards upon the citizens oi
New York. His manner of walking
was recognized at oncO As distinctly the
thing in London this year, and club
men and Anglomaniacs lay in wait
along Fifth avenue to see him pass by.
OF all the walks this is the most absurd.
To begin, in good form, the knees must
never be straightened under any, CIR
cumstances, and the toes should be
turned out rs far us possible without
putting the heels in advance of them.
This gives a rather parenthetical look
to the legs from the front elevation,
but it is undoubtably correct neyerthe-
less. Having assumed this posture, the
walker should lean his body forward
from the hips. draw his shoulders over
in front, elevate tho chin as far as pos
sible, and then start off with the arms
hanging straight at the side. Bend the
knees outward at every step and move
as rapidly as possible Repeat as be-
fore, and then rest eight minutes in n
horizontal position, Altogether the
walk is not unlike that affected by varie-
ty actors mimicking old plantation
darkies, and am told that If q man
huns gently some such strain as
climbing Up the Golden Stairs" while
perfecting himself in the minor details
Of the walk he will be vastly aided
thereby. - Washington star LOOT
